Tball whom it may concern:

- Be it known that we Fonno H. G. Bnannr citizens respectively; of the United States and Germany, residing at Kansas City; in. the. county of Wyandotte and State of Kansas,have 'inventedcerta'inf new and usefullmpro'vements in Billing Presses,of which the following is a speci cation.

This'inventionrelates to balingpresses and our object is to produce adjustablean'tr friction devices :for compressing the front l ends of bales to effect'the haling operation with a minimum expenditure of'power and permit'the balesto be more tightly wired.

With this object in view, the inventlon consists in certain novel and peculi'ar 'feai to be had to the the invention.

; :Theconnections' constituted by. bolts9 and turn-buckles 10 hold the shafts 7 a fixed distance apart and in parallel-relation, and to tures ofconstruction and combinations of parts as hereinafter described and pointed out in the appended claims; and in order that it may be fully understood reference is which- Figure 1, is a top. plan View of the discharge end of the .baling chamber of a bal-T iug press equipped with devices embodying Fig. 2, is a side view of the same.

'Fig. 3, is a vertical section taken on the line IIIIII of Fig. 1. V

' Fig. 1, is a section on the line,IVIV of 'Fig. 3 with the underlying parts omitted.

In the said drawing, 1 is the top, 2 the bottom and 3 the sides constituting the bale compression chamber of a baling' press, the sides terminating short of the rear ends of the top andbottom and rearward of. said sides the top and bottom are providedin each side edge with, transverse slots or notches and reinforcing the top and bottom and extending transversely of and-.pro gcctmg beyond the side marg ns of the same are cross bars 5, provided with end slots 6 registering Wltl) slots or'notches a.

7 indicates vertical shafts reducedto provide shoulders 8 and beyond said shoulders extending through the vertically alined slots 4 and 6, and through. inwardly projecting eye-bolts 9, each alined pair of said eye bolts being connected by a turnbuckle 10.

secure them in fixed relation to the compression chamber composed of parts 1 to 3 inaccompanying drawing, in

fcompression. chamber is minimized.

elusive, the following construction is pro- J OHN It. Evans and vided: 11 indicatesone or a plurality of collars orwashers fitted on each'reduced compression chamber and the lower set of collars or washers 11 bearing against the bottomo'f said compression chamber.

12 are collars fitted on theends of the bolts and bearing against the cross bars 15 and the adjacent portions of the bolts 9. 13

are-washers fitted on the bolts and engaging the outer faces of the bolts 9, and 14k are shafts 7.

15 are squared sleeves or hubs gournaled on shafts 7 and 16 are vertical rollers 'pro vided with squared openings 17 snugly receiving the squared'sleeves orhubs 15.

From the above description it will be ap-* parent that each bale will be compressed horizontally as itis forced between the rollv clamping nuts engaging the ends ofthej nections and the top and bottom of the room'- I ers 16 which constrict the width Oftll6,CO11lf pression chamber to some extent by project ing inwardly beyond the side walls of said chamber, but owing to the fact that said rollers are free to turn, the friction between the sides of the bale and the sides of the It is further obvious that bycompressing the bale by said rollers, the bale ties not shown, which are secured around the bale in the customary or any preferred manner, will hold the bale more tightly because of the longitudinal expansion of the bale which will take place as the bale is passing said rollers. Inth'e event that it is desired to increase or decrease the lateral compression applied onthebale, the nuts i l will be turned back slightly and then theturn-buckles will be .operated to draw the shafts closer together or force them farther apart respec' tively, andafter suchadjustment the clamping nuts 14: will be turned to clamp the turn buckle connections and the roller-carrying shafts in rigid relation with the top and bottom of the compression chamber. i

In the event it is desired to apply pressure upon the upper and lower sides of the bale; it can beaccomp'lished by removing one or- 5 11. In the event it is desired to increase the 7 height of the bale; additional Washers 11 will be inserted between the shoulders 8' of the shafts and thevtop and: bottom of the compression chamber, or between oneset of said 10 shoulders and'the adjacent portion Whether it,.be the 110 :;v .or botton of; the compression;
